Understanding Your Medicare Options: Broker vs. Agent

Deciphering the maze of Medicare can be daunting, especially when it comes to choosing the right support to help you through the process. A common query we hear at Palmetto Medicare Advisors is: "What's the difference between a Medicare agent and a Medicare broker?" It's an important distinction that can significantly impact the quality and suitability of the Medicare plan you choose.

Medicare Agents vs. Medicare Brokers: What You Need to Know

A Medicare agent typically represents one specific insurance company. They are knowledgeable about their company's products but are limited to recommending plans from their own lineup, which might not always be the best fit for your unique needs.

In contrast, a Medicare broker like Palmetto Medicare Advisors offers a broader perspective. We work with a variety of insurance providers, which means we can offer a wide selection of plans. This allows us to focus on finding the best match for you, without being tied to one insurer's offerings. We're here to listen, assess your needs, and present you with a selection of plans that can meet your health care and budgetary requirements.
